not start after rain 850

posted by  someone claiming to be markoman on  Sat Dec 21 16:57 CST 2019 [RELATED]

My '94 non-t 850 wagon with about 600K miles runs great most of the time (original engine!).
But after a long soaking rain or a few days of moderate rain, she wont start. Was away and let her sit 3-4 days after the rain and she started right up, ran fine.

I always was told hard/non-start conditions in rain/damp weather meant bad distributor cap, rotor or wires. I replaced plugs a few months ago, but wires, dist cap and rotor are old. Should I just replace these or is there any other likely issue?
thanks,
mark
